Chapter 1202: Goodbye, Second Brother (22)
[Don’t worry.]
After he replied, he took a step towards the door and found that Qiao Lian had quietened down.
He opened the door and saw that she was sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees close to herself. She seemed a little tired.
Shen Liangchuan walked to her and held her tightly.
She suddenly lifted her head and said to him, “I don’t think I want to be a journalist anymore.”
Initially, she had chosen to become a journalist in order to get the reporter’s certificate, so that she could investigate her parents’ matter and report on it.
But now her parents’ matter had been resolved.
She could move on to do what she enjoyed doing.
Shen Liangchuan was extremely indulgent towards her and said, “Uh huh, don’t then.”
Qiao Lian bit her lip and said after a moment, “I want to take part in gaming compet.i.tions.”
Shen Liangchuan was slightly surprised and asked as he looked at her hand, “Would you be able to do it?”
“Yes, I can.”
Qiao Lian pushed Shen Liangchuan away as she stood on the sofa.
Standing on the sofa and thus towering over Shen Liangchuan, she laughed as she stretched out both her hands and said to him, “Shen Liangchuan, before I was eighteen, I was a little spoiled princess at home. Since I turned eighteen right up to now, I lived my life for my parents. But from now on, I want to live for myself!”
She wanted to live her life the way she wanted, she wanted to liberate her inner self.
Looking at her, Shen Liangchuan finally nodded.
Then he held her and said, “Fine, my child’s mother, take it easy.”
With the mention of her child, Qiao Lian immediately slowed down.
She carefully got down the sofa and foolishly grinned at Shen Liangchuan.
After a while of foolish grinning, Shen Liangchuan reminded her, “Aren’t you going to give Lu Nanze a call?
She suddenly realized something after she heard this.
Lu Nanze had exposed the truth, hence now he had to be having a difficult time.
She quickly picked up her cell phone and dialed Lu Nanze’s number.
Very quickly, the call was connected.
Immediately, Lu Nanze’s devilishly charming voice answered, “There’s no need to thank me.”
Qiao Lian fell silent.
She cleared her throat and said, “I wasn’t about to thank you. All of these are things that you ought to do anyway.”
“Uh huh, so there’s no need to thank me.”
Qiao Lian fell silent.
Changing the topic, she said, “How’s the company doing?”
“Not too bad, don’t worry.”
Indeed, as he said this, his secretary’s frantic voice in the background sounded, “Director Lu, the board of directors is here. They’re quite aggressive, please hurry and come for the meeting. If we’re late again, we won’t have a good explanation for them.”
Her voice grew indistinct. Obviously, Lu Nanze had tried to m.u.f.fle the phone’s microphone when he realized what the secretary was saying.
Qiao Lian fell silent.
She was using the hands-free speaker mode to talk to him.
She could distinctly hear what the secretary was saying.
Of course, Shen Liangchuan was even sharper.
Qiao Lian quickly said, “Second Brother, your company… Are you in a bit of trouble?”
Lu Nanze was silent for a moment and then he said, “It’s not doing too poorly, don’t worry about me. These things can be sorted out. Uh huh, I have to go to a meeting now.”
“Ok, hurry up then. I’ll hang up now.”
After she hung up, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but look at Shen Liangchuan and ask, “Will he… be alright?”
“Uh huh, it’s not a big deal. It’s just that his father was a murderer and used to compete against other businesses using illegal means. Now it’s all over internet forums and Weibo. They’re all talking about his father and such things have to be dealt with by the authorities. It’s really no big deal. Their company shares fell by about 10 dollars, that’s all.”
